To compare the performance of 2D and 3D quantitative CT methods for classifying lung nodules as lung cancer, metastases, or benign. Using semiautomated software and computerized analysis, we analyzed more than 50 quantitative CT features of 96 solid nodules in 94 patients, in 2D from a single slice and in 3D from the entire nodule volume. Multivariable logistic regression was used to classify nodule types. Model performance was assessed by the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) using leave-one-out cross-validation. The AUC for distinguishing 53 primary lung cancers from 18 benign nodules and 25 metastases ranged from 0.79 to 0.83 and was not significantly different for 2D and 3D analyses (p=0.29–0.78). Models distinguishing metastases from benign nodules were statistically significant only by 3D analysis (AUC=0.84). 3D CT methods did not improve discrimination of lung cancer, but may help distinguish benign nodules from metastases.
